Is Nebraska in pursuit of a former five-star recruit at wide receiver? On Dec. 4, former Ohio State Buckeye prospect Julian Fleming entered the transfer portal.
Fleming was the No. 1 wide receiver in the class of 2020 and the No. 4 player overall. In his four seasons in Columbus, the Pennsylvania native appeared in 38 games, producing 79 receptions for 963 yards and seven touchdowns.
Last season, he played in all 12 games with 26 catches and 270 yards. Social media rumors have suggested Flemming is a package deal with transfer portal quarterback Kyle McCord.
Nebraska has been in heavy pursuit of the former Buckeye quarterback, and the addition of an experienced and explosive receiver may add the experience the Husker offense is desperately looking for this offseason.
Rumors swirling around that 5 ⭐️ WR Julian Fleming may follow former Buckeye teammate 5 ⭐️ QB Kyle McCord to #Nebraska.
